The Capone Investment

I watched this series last week for the first time on the Film 24 channel on the Sky network here in the UK (which was shown in two parts) and was surprised by the quality of the fast-moving plot and the sharp acting. It was more entertaining and gripping than many cinema films of this type.

I disagree strongly with the review shown on IMDb. I think that modern TV directors can learn a lot from the uncomplicated camera angles and long scenes used on this production - it gave the actors more scope to let their characters breathe and allowed the dialogue to be more realistic. I was also impressed by the excellent locations used, which gave the story more of an edge.

All in all, it was a very good TV drama which deserves to be shown on more prominent TV channels.
